Front view of the TV camera as mounted on the MESA. The lens on the camera is the wide-angle lens used to show the ladder. Note that the camera is mounted upside down. Scan by Kipp Teague.

Paul Coan writes, "The handle of the TV was 'substantial'. It was designed with a sufficient diameter so that the spacesuit gloved astronaut could easily attach it to the camera, and so that it could carry the weight of the camera. The cable that ran through the handle carried both video and power.".
